Grace Advances to NCAA Championships

GREENSBORO, N.C. – On the second day of
the NCAA Regional Championships, junior Kate Grace
competed in the quarterfinals of the 800-meter run and qualified
for NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore., June 9-12. Senior Claudia
Duncan also competed in the quarterfinals of the 400-meter
dash.

Grace raced 2:04.22 in the 800-meter run, which is a school
record. It is Grace's PR in the event, and was the seventh-fastest
time of the day. That was a good follow-up to her 2:08.51
performance on Thursday in the semifinals.

Duncan finished her race in 54.62 for 20th place on
Friday evening. This was an impressive follow-up to her 54.03
performance on Thursday in the semifinals.

Sophomore Anne
Lovelace was also scheduled to run in the 3,000-meter
steeplechase on Friday night, but inclement weather postponed the
race to Saturday at 10:10 a.m. Senior Alexandra
Cadicamo will also compete in the 5,000-meter run at 8:45 p.m.
on Saturday.
